Interesting case. So I think the root of the problem is the same as
what we have for a column is marked unique to the subscriber but not
to the publisher. In short, two transactions which are independent of
each other on the publisher are dependent on each other on the
subscriber side because table definition is different on the
subscriber. So can't we handle this case in the same way by marking
this table unsafe for parallel-apply?
